Now I recall the Shire all too well, the hobbit homeland, is a place of rich farmland, and mushrooms a plenty.

To my gentle hobbit friends they are a beloved source of food too. Just don’t pick them off Old Man Willow that is a trap if I have ever seen one.

I remember the day Tom Bombadil commanded command the tree: "You let them out again, Old Man Willow! ' he said. 'What be you a-thinking of? You should not be waking. Eat earth! Dig deep! Drink water! Go to sleep! Bombadil is talking!"

There are some neat emissions graphs out there showing how paris has changed in the last 20 years because it has turned to such a public transit and biking friendly city :)
